Islamabad: The administration of the capital city has decided to utilise drone technology for planting saplings on the Margalla Hills, a news source reported.
The officials concerned recently conducted an experiment to this effect. They dropped some seed pods on the hills through drones. The administration later decided to conduct aerial seeding for facilitating forest densification in the area.
As per reports, the authorities have decided to drop seed balls of 15 approved species on the hills. They will replicate this project in other areas of the country if the results prove successful.
The terrain of the Margalla Hills makes it almost impossible to carry out a manual plantation drive. Moreover, planes-usage has proven to be very costly for this project.
The officials have proposed using drone technology for this plantation campaign. They maintain that this sophisticated technology is less expensive, and can place saplings more precisely from a lower height.
